Chris:
It's alongside a road which appears to be called Heol Pen-rhiw'r Eglwys aka Manmoel Rd. on Brierly Hill about halfway on a line between the centres of George Town and Ebbw Vale, but the signal is beamed primarily towards Ebbw Vale but should be good in parts of George Town, so it may not be the best transmitter depending on where you are. If you provide a full postcode we could advise further.
